Meanwhile, at the Sikkapatte Important Company of Karnataka, also known as Murthy Angadi, there has been a major reshuffle.
Kis Baay Dasa, the pattinga who used to sit at the “cash”, has been told by Chandan, sowcarara hendthi oorina huduga, to get some innocent boys from his village to join the angadi, because with so many foreign malls and maliges opening, not too many are excited to join Murthy Angadi.
Dasa is now officially a director, but the other boys and girls in Murthy Angadi do not know whether this is a promotion or a demotion.
After all, there were never any rumours that he had nung-ed any money. And, after all, even sowcar-ru was happy when he was buying so many sites that many people were beginning to think of the Angadi as a real estate agency.
Those who hate Dasa say he has been taken away from “cash” because he was talking too much and beginning to interfere in everything. Yem. Aa. Chandramma who had the distinction of recruiting Murthy Angadi’s first employee, apparently left because she couldn’t stand Dasa’s interference any longer.
But those who love Kis Baay Dasa, and that includes himself and his dear calculator, say this is what he had been wanting all along, to be a director of the Angadi, not just another employee. In fact, they say, he engineered Yem. Aa. Chandramma’s exit so that he could become director. Whatever.
Yem. Aa. Chandramma’s husband has been telling all those who will listen that this is Chandan’s masterstroke because the “travels fellow” was getting too much publicity although he was not one of the founders of the Angadi.
But clearly the shift has begun to hurt.
Kis Baay Dasa is known to have called up a reporter of the Marwadi Patrike to complain about a story which suggested that he had been kicked upstairs.
Disclaimer: All the characters and situations mentioned in ‘Look, what’s happening at Murthy Angadi’ are completely kalpanik. Any resemblance to kirana or gharana stores, present or past, is completely coincidental and unintentional because, you see, there is more than one Murthy in every Halli.
Your hero of the story now looks after books section of the angadi and also takes care of mentoring juniors
Why on earth you are behind such an ethical company. there commercial stunts might irk people, but dont you think such things happen at most of the companies.
I really enjoyed the style of article but no comments on content.
Girish-avare, Nanna prakaara, as long as the intention is to be humorous and not malicious, it is fine. Yenanthira?
Boss… some of the workers in “Angadi” r getting very obvious.
Pls dont make so clear…
People will enjoy “grey” lot than black or White…Alvaa ???
I love this section of churumuri. Esp, as I myself have several bitter experiences with Murthy Angadi as a vendor. And I know several people who just like to steer clear of the shop because of the absence of ethics :)
Girish, the shop what you are claiming as an ethical company is way beyond control. The shopkeeper can’t be everywhere. It’s infested with rats, cockroaches almost everywhere.
Shekhar.
It is not my claim that murthy angadi is ethical. It is the perception that janta have and may be true or may not be false!
Angadi getting infected with rats & cockroaches is quite common. the best thing that you should do is either
1. Ask angadi owner to put infecticides or
2. Stop using this angadi and move on to an another angadi which you feel good.
I read that you are a vendor of this angadi, when you have choices of so many angadi’s around, check out the best angadi!
Murthy’s Angadi is a brand and everyone has acknowledged it. It might be fun to know more about angadi and laugh at it. If we take this forum to bull-shit the angadi, janta may not find it interesting
Am impressed ! the story telling is terrific and humour has been used beautifully to put forth the facts and some sordid happenings in the angadi which are increasingly coming out in the open
